Abstract: A combined apparatus for measuring the blood glucose level from an ocular fluid comprises a hand-held fluorescence photometer (D1) for determining the glucose level of the ocular fluid and a device (D2) for the amperometric or photometric determination of the blood glucose level. The fluorescence photometer (D1) comprises: first irradiating means (7,8,10) for providing a pilot beam (1) for irradiation of the eye (3) in order to excite a first fluorescence comprising a first wavelength band; first detecting means (8,9,12,13) for measuring the intensity of the of the pupil fluorescence within the first wavelength band; second irradiating means (17,18,21) for providing a measurement beam (5) for irradiation of the eye in order to excite an ocular sensor (4) to emit a second fluorescence comprising a second wavelength band; second detecting means (18,19,20,22,23,24,25) for measuring the intensity of the second fluorescence within the second wavelength band.  The first and second irradiating means are arranged such that the measurement beam irradiates the eye under a predetermined angle (a) between 00 and 90~ and at a predetermined distance from the pilot beam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve timing mechanism of an internal combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, having a camshaft having at least one cam (18), via which a switchable valve timing mechanism element (1) can be loaded with a cam stroke (s), in which locking means (12) are arranged on the valve timing mechanism element (1), which locking means (12) have a locking play (16) which is active in the direction of a valve stroke, in which the cam (18) has a base circle region (.alpha.) and a ramp region (19) with an opening ramp (.gamma.) which adjoins the base circle region (.alpha.), and in which at least one ramp section (21) is formed on the opening ramp (.gamma.) in order to compensate for the locking play (16). In order to provide a valve timing mechanism of an internal combustion engine, which produces sufficient idle travel compensation, in particular idle travel of a locking play (16) of the switchable valve timing mechanism elements (1), in the event of switchable valve timing mechanism elements (1) being loaded by the cam ramps of the cams (18), and nevertheless manages with a relatively short length of the cam ramps, the cam (18) is shaped in the locking play ramp section (21) for compensating for the locking play (16) in such a way that, during a run-off movement over a cam counterelement (17) of the valve timing mechanism element (1), in the event of a rotation of the camshaft, it runs off with an increased cam velocity (v) in comparison with adjacent ramp sections (20, 24), at least in one part of the locking play ramp section (21).

Abstract: Each transmitter is assigned a time-only pilot code, a frequency-only pilot code, or a time-frequency pilot code to use for pilot transmission. The pilot codes may be pseudo-random, orthogonal, and/or cyclic-shift codes. To obtain a channel estimate for a transmitter using a time-frequency pilot code composed of a time-only code and a frequency-only code, a receiver multiplies a set of received symbols for each symbol period with a set of code values for the frequency-only code to obtain a set of detected symbols and performs an IDFT  on the set of detected symbols to obtain an initial impulse response estimate.  The receiver performs code matching on multiple initial impulse response estimates derived for multiple symbol periods with the time-only code to obtain a final impulse response estimate for the desired transmitter. The receiver retains the first L channel taps and zeroes out remaining channel taps, where L is the expected channel length.

Abstract: Audio sources in typical computer systems provide different numbers of channels of audio signals to a mixing component of the operating system. This conventional arrangement usually prevents the audio signals from all sources from being played back through all output channels. Novel arrangements of upmixing and mixing components are disclosed that allow audio signals to be delivered to all output channels regardless of the configuration of the audio sources and the number of channels that are provided by those audio sources.

Abstract: The present application is directed to a keyed coupling assembly and kit for use with a coupling having a pair of connectable coupling members. The keyed coupling assembly includes a keyed member associated with each coupling member to permit the coupling members to mate with each other when the keyed members match, yet prevent the unwanted mating of the coupling members with each other when the keyed members do not match. The keyed coupling assembly is capable of ensuring that a fluid connection can only be made between matching keyed components, thereby ensuring that the characteristics of the fluid (e.g., type of fluid, fluid pressure, and/or fluid direction) delivered from one coupling member to the other is proper.

IPC: B60T8/88
Filed: 2005-10-11
Abstract: A method and system for providing true failsafe control of an electronic braking system by a train control system which controls a switch that supplies power to the electronic braking system. When the train control system determines that it is necessary to activate the train's brakes, it controls the switch so as to remove power to the electronic braking system, which results in activation of the train's brakes. In highly preferred embodiments, the switch is of a type that is normally open and that requires the presence of an electrical signal to close the switch to supply power to the electronic braking system. In such embodiments, any loss in power to the train control system will result in a loss of signal to the switch, thereby causing activation of the train's brakes.

Title: Embedded neural prosthesis
Inventor: LORINCZ ANDRAS
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2007-03-30
Abstract: A neural prosthesis comprised of a network of component devices that sense, analyze, and communicate data to deliver a therapeutic effect to a patient. The network of component devices establish systems and methods for sensing physiological parameters in, on or around a human body and achieving a therapeutic effect based thereon. A network of various levels of component devices sense, process and communicate data between corresponding component devices, and self-organize into a hierarchy of peer groups of component devices to perform the task or function of the therapeutic effect upon completion of the tasks or functions of the various underlying levels of component devices. An overall Peer Group encompasses the various underlying levels of peer groups having the component devices therein.  The sensing, computational, data distribution, communication or therapeutic effect tasks at the various levels are accomplished by the coordination of communication and functions between the plurality of relatively simple component devices of the network. Symmetric and asymmetric cryptography and other communication protocols are used to co-ordinate the tasks and functions of the component devices of the network. Therapeutic tasks such as drug delivery, executable actions, and stimuli delivery or suppression are thus efficiently distributed to a patient via the network.  Component peer devices of the network can be implants, wearable devices with respect to a patient, or may be devices that are in the environment within which the patient is located.

Abstract: A method for the on-line cleaning of a heat exchanger used with petroleum process fluids which create coke deposits of asphaltenic origin on the exchanger tubes. The asphaltenes are removed by re-dissolution in a solvent oil of high solubility power for the asphaltenes. Certain asphaltenic crudes are useful as solvents in view of their chemical similarity to the asphaltene coke precursors; also useful are refined petroleum fractions such as gas oils which are also characterized by their solvency for asphaltenes. The solvent oil may be admitted to the heat exchanger following withdrawal of the process fluid and then allowed to soak and dissolve the asphaltene coke precursors after which the resulting solution may be withdrawn and the exchanger returned to use without being at any time disconnected from its associated process unit.
